Planning Your Search Service
Whether you are an Internet Service Provider (ISP), an Application Service
Provider (ASP), a Web Presence Provider (WPP), or needing to add search
functionality to your department, company or organization, NetWare
Search's new search site hosting features make it easy to host search services,
big or small.
However, Web Search is a search service designed for individual Web sites. It
is not intended to index the entire Internet. But because many Web sites are
comprised of multiple Web servers located across an enterprise, Web Search
was designed to be able to index hundreds, even thousands, of Web sites as
part of a single search solution.
In addition to enterprise search solutions, Web Search can also be set up to
host multiple, independent search sites in an ASP/ISP environment, all from a
single NetWare 6 server. (See
141.)
This chapter provides suggestions for creating a search service that fits your
particular needs and circumstances. If you are interested in hosting
professional search services, you might want to read the section

A search site typically contains its own indexes, log files, administration
interface, search and print templates, scheduled events, site name, and an
optional alias.
Providing search services involves creating one or more search sites.
A search site is a fully functioning, self-contained search service created for a
particular audience, such as a department, organization, or a specific group of
customers.
Users cannot search more than one search site at a time. A search site typically
contains its own indexes, log files, administration interface, search and print
results pages, and scheduled events. Each search site is given a unique name
and an optional alias name.
